The scientific use of light enables a fine-tuned vegetation parameters in applications of preventing from lack of sunshine, anti-microbes, stimulation of growth, saving water and etc. Moreover, the exploitation of wavelengths offers innovative soluti..

Photosensitizers activated by a specific wavelength of light produce cytotoxic species to destroy cancerous, precancerous cells, bacterial, fungus and virus. Today several photosensitizer drugs are available to treat various diseases, including acne,..

Many diagnoses are based on the use of optics, such as fluorescence, Raman, luminescence and etc. The customed light source or prototype is offering...

Organ shortage and the consequent high cost are becoming serious concerns, driving the 3D bioprinting development. Many biomaterials (including stem cell) could be stimulated with light so as to control their morphology and functions. The customed li..

To simulate sunlight-like lighting at home, while filtering out most of UV rays. It could relieve gloomy mood, sleep disorders, rainy days, etc...

Photoplethysmogram (PPG) measures blood volume changes in blood vessels. The changes reflect the heart rate and the blood oxygen concentration. 465-nm, 520-nm, 660-nm, 805-nm and 940-nm are typical wavelengths used. It has been implanted to wearable ..
